understand, and follow these following safety instructions. In addition, make certain that anyone else that uses this
equipment understands and follows these safety instructions as well.
Retain these instructions for future reference. Read all safety instructions carefully before attempting to install,
operate or service this equipment. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in personal injury and/or
property damage. Published standards on safety are also available. For additional information concerning safety,
refer to the following standards and comply with them, as applicable.
ANSI Standard Z87.1 SAFE PRACTICE FOR OCCUPATION AND EDUCATIONAL EYE AND FACE PROTECTION
obtainable from the American National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018
The following safety alert symbols identify important safety messages in this manual. When you see one of the
symbols shown here, be alert to the possibility of personal injury and carefully read the message that follows.
WARNING
Read these instructions completely before using the T-TECH and save them for future reference.
Before using the T-TECH, read these instructions and the instruction manual/safety information
provided by the car, truck, boat or equipment manufacturer. Following all manufacturers
instructions and safety procedures will reduce the risk of accident.
All lead-acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently explode in
the presence of fire or sparks. Do not smoke, use matches or a cigarette lighter while near
batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing because static electricity sparks
are generated when vinyl clothing is rubbed. Review all cautionary material on the T-TECH and in
the engine compartment.
Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety equipment when
working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around lead-acid batteries.
Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving parts may cause
severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in the vehicle's Owner's Manual.
WARNING: This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

PREPARATION FOR USE
Although minimal, T-TECH requires some preparation before use. The following instructions describe the necessary
steps to prepare your new transmission fluid exchanger for use.
Fitting Organization
Locate the standard fittings assortment and set each fitting in the T-TECH cabinet storage position identified by the
picture mounted on the backside of the cabinet cover. The standard fittings have a specific storage location inside
the T-TECH cabinet. Most of the fittings are numerically referenced and have a color-coded band for easy
identification.
Throughout each of the operating functions performed using the T-TECH, various adapters, fittings, or attachments
will require installation in order to service a specific vehicle. This is not considered part of initial preparation for use.
In each case, the setup and connection requirements for a specific task will be added, where necessary, as part of
the procedure for that task.

For the hookup procedure, we will use as an example an illustration that represents a 1992 Chevrolet 4-door Blazer,
Figure 47.
1. Always verify that the transmission fluid level is normal before you begin.
2. Look for the easiest spot to break into the transmission system (any existing connection along the entire
system can be used, see Figure 46).
Note: In this vehicle (Chevy Blazer) the top radiator line is determined (for this example) to be the easiest
location to make the T-TECH connection.
3. If available, use a transmission cooling line wrench (an open end wrench, flare nut wrench, or adjustable
wrench) to remove the cooling line from the radiator (see Figure 47).
16
4. Examine the vehicle fittings and compare them to FIT304
the fitting chart on the back of the T-TECH
cabinet door. In this case, a Chevrolet fitting is
required and a review of the fitting chart indicates
that FIT303 and FIT304 are the correct choices
(see Figure 48).

Note: The connections only need to be snug fit.
Torquing down hard is not required, but they Figure 48. The Correct Fittings Selection
should still be tight enough to keep the
connections from leaking. If they begin to leak when service starts, see Troubleshooting.

2. Set both Valves A and B (on the T-TECH control panel) to SERVICE VEHICLE (pointing straight up).
3. Start the vehicle. The pressure gauge (on the T-TECH control panel) should read between 10 and 75 lbs.,

Bypass Feature
The T-TECH bypass feature allows new ATF to loop within the vehicle when the exchange is complete and the
piston is at the top of the cylinder. This feature allows the operator to walk away (work on something else, etc.)
when the machine is running, without being concerned about service completion. When the piston reaches the top
of the cylinder (old ATF has displaced all of the new ATF), the bypass feature is automatically engaged. This causes
the new fluid to be forced into a loop through the vehicle and the T-TECH unit. The bypass will continue until
stopped when the operator turns the vehicle OFF.
This step is required to remove any ATF left in the overflow tank from a
previous service.
1. Attach the drain pan adapter (see Figure 58) to the service port on
the control panel.

Replace Existing New ATF with Different New ATF
Use this procedure to replace a new fluid type that is already in the cylinder with another type of new fluid needed
to perform a current service (e.g. the cylinder is currently filled with DEXRON III but you need to service a Chrysler
that uses MOPAR+ fluid).
To accomplish this task, the piston will be pushed to the top of the cylinder to force any existing new ATF into a
clean storage container so the fluid can be reused. See Figure 61.

T-TECH APPLICATION NOTES
General
The information in the following pages provides information for specific T-TECH applications. The information
provided here is listed alphabetically by vehicle manufacturer and vehicle type.
CAUTION: Some automobile manufacturers use snap type connectors on transmission cooling lines. To avoid
damaging the radiator, never remove the fitting from the radiator but rather use the proper disconnect tool to
remove line from fitting.
If a tool is not available, follow the cooler lines to a point where the line and a rubber hose meet and disconnect at
that point. Follow all directions for a proper service.
Typical vehicles utilizing snap type cooler line connections are Ford Taurus, late model Ford pick-ups and SUVs,
Dodge trucks, most GM products after 2000 and Chrysler vehicles after 2004.

Extra O-rings have been included with FIT407.
Figure 62. FIT402 Installation on the BMW
Chrysler
CAUTION: Many Chrysler products use rubber hose to connect to the transmission cooler. The hose usually has
one or more plastic clips along the length to keep the hose away from pulleys, belts, etc. While doing a T-TECH
service, it is possible to dislodge the hose from the clips. Closely monitor the security of the clips and hoses during
T-TECH service to assure that the hose is not cut off by a belt or pulley after the vehicle is returned to customer.
Note: A number of Chrysler vehicles, including some Jeeps, require the vehicle to be in neutral while the
engine is running to develop vehicle transmission pressure. The T-TECH exchange process simply will not
work unless vehicle transmission pressure is developed.
Many late model Chrysler vehicles utilize Internal Quick Connect (IQC) Fittings to join the transmission cooler line to
the radiator. For application instructions related to these vehicles, see GM Instructions, page. 31.

Check for leaks and fluid quantity.
Ford Explorer
Many 2001 to 2006 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models have an internal thermostat that controls the
flow of the fluid to the cooler. This thermostat solenoid remains closed until the vehicle reaches proper operating
temperature (140F). There is no bypass or pressure relief mechanism in this solenoid that can be forced open. This
situation will result in low or no flow of transmission fluid to and though the T-TECH, causing delays in service
times.
The following procedure is recommended to improve service times on the above vehicles:
1. Connect the T-TECH to the vehicle (varies by model).
2. Start the vehicle, set the parking brake and with foot on brake, place in neutral increasing engine speed to
1600 RPM.
3. When the transmission fluid reaches 140, the solenoid will open and the fluid will start to flow through the
cooler lines and to the cooler.
4. Continue to keep a foot on the brake, maintain the engine at 1600 RPM and the vehicle in neutral to
maintain optimum transmission fluid temperature and flow.
5. If no fluid flow occurs, use a non-contact thermometer and check the temperature of the transmission pan.
If not at 140 raise the engine speed to 1900 RPM to increase the transmission temperature.
6. If the fluid temperature is at or above 140 and fluid does not flow, stop the process. In some cases, the
thermostat or solenoid valve may be defective (not allowing fluid flow) and need servicing. Inspect the
transmission fluid condition and if the fluid is extremely burnt it may indicate a defective thermostat or
solenoid. This must be remedied before a service can be performed.
7. To ensure correct fluid level, always check the fluid level prior to vehicle leaving the bay. Refer to Sealed
Transmission service guidelines below.
28
Many 2002 to 2006 Ford Explorers and Mercury Mountaineer models feature a sealed transmission system with no
automatic transmission dipstick. The instructions below outline the proper service techniques for fluid level check
on such models using the T-TECH FIT516 Ford Fill Adapter Kit.
Suggested Service Tools: Oil suction gun, 3/16" Allen or T-30 Torx wrench and a T-TECH FIT516 Ford Fill Adapter Kit.
1. Ensure the vehicle is sitting level. Start the vehicle and warm the transmission to operating temperature
(120 to 140F).
2. With foot on the brake, slowly place shift selector in each gear position momentarily returning to park when
complete.
3. With engine still running, access the underside of the vehicle and locate the transmission drain plug. Using
the appropriate tool, remove the center plug from the drain plug, holding the drain plug in place.
4. If fluid runs out of center of the drain plug, allow to drain to a slow drip and replace the center plug. The
vehicle fluid level is correct.
5. If no fluid runs out, thread the FIT516 Ford Fill Adapter into the center plug opening. Using an oil suction
gun, inject 1 pint of correct ATF into vehicle through the Ford Fill Adapter and remove the oil suction gun.
6. If fluid runs out, follow Step #4, first removing the FIT516 Ford Fill Adapter. If no fluid drains out, inject
another .25 pint of fluid following above instructions. Repeat until fluid drains out. Follow Step 4 above,
first removing the FIT516 Adapter.
7. Shut-off the engine. Fluid check is complete.
Note: The transmission pan will hold 3 quarts of ATF when filled to correct level, vehicle is running and
sitting level.
F-Series Trucks
CAUTION: Late model F-Series trucks feature a Quick Connect fitting at the the radiator. DO NOT REMOVE this
fitting. Remove, instead, the transmission cooling line from the fitting. The following method can used be wherever
this Quick Connect fitting is encountered.
F-150 Instructions
1. Remove the transmission cooling line from this radiator fitting using the 3/8" Ford Quick Disconnect
Removal Tool (Part No. FIT512).
2. After the transmission cooling line has been released, insert the fitting from FIT414 into the radiator fitting.
3. Attach a service adapter hose to the FIT414 fitting and to the transmission cooling line for service.
F-250 Instructions
1. Remove the transmission cooling line from this radiator fitting using the 1/2" Ford Quick Disconnect
Removal Tool (Part No. FIT513).
2. After the transmission cooling line has been released, insert the fitting from FIT415 into the radiator fitting.
3. Attach a service adapter hose to the FIT415 fitting and to the transmission cooling line for service.

General Motors
Special Fittings Kit FIT404 and FIT416 are to be used on any GM vehicle utilizing 3/8" E clip snap fittings.
This includes Blazers and Astro vans from the mid-90s through all 2006 GM vehicles (except Allison equipped
vehicles, see pg. 32).
1. Locate a transmission cooler line where it attaches to the radiator. Remove the plastic cover, sliding back
onto the cooler line, exposing the E clip.
2. Using a small hook, awl or screwdriver, remove the E clip from the radiator fitting. (This clip will need to
be reinstalled to hold the FIT404/FIT416 male adapter in place during the ATF exchange.)
Note: An alternative is to use a T-TECH GM 3/8" Quick Disconnect Tool (Part No. FIT514) to disengage the
cooler line without removing the E clip, ensuring the clip is not damaged during installation.
3. Remove the cooler line from the radiator fitting and reinsert the E clip back onto the radiator fitting.
4. Insert the male fitting (FIT404 or FIT416, depending on your access requirements) until it engages in the
radiator fitting.
5. Connect a service adapter hose onto the T-TECH fitting and onto the transmission cooler line.
6. When service is complete, reverse the installation procedure. Always replace the E clip with a new one
(Part No. FIT510) prior to connecting the transmission cooler line back into the radiator fitting.
Note: The E clips are easily stretched or bent when removed. The design of the E clips utilizes 3
pressure points to hold a line in place. If any of these points are compromised, the line may come out
of the radiator, causing fluid leaks and the transmission to run low on fluid. ALWAYS install a new clip
prior to final connection of the cooler line back into the radiator fitting.
7. After reassembly is complete, test on the cooler line to ensure connection is secure. Reinstall the plastic
cover back over the fitting to keep out dirt and debris.
8. Check vehicle for leaks and proper fluid levels.

Allison Series 1000 Special Fitting Kit FIT413 (Optional)
CAUTION: T-TECH Automatic Transmission Fluid Exchange Machines are designed to bleed Automatic
Transmission Fluid (ATF) into the overflow container if system pressures exceed 85 PSI. Please note that the
FIT413 Kit cannot be used in conjunction with T-TECH Model No. JB100 because of the pressure limitations
of that early model.
When servicing an Allison 1000 transmission, it is critical to warm the vehicle up prior to service, as this
transmission system can exhibit pressures up to 125 PSI when cold. After the fluid reaches normal operating
temperature, the system pressure will drop to approximately 70 PSI and service can be performed.
Never exceed idle when servicing the Allison 1000 as doing so will raise the system pressure in excess of 85 PSI,
forcing open the T-TECH pressure overflow valve and directing ATF into the overflow tank.
Instructions
Note: During the 2003 model year, GM changed the design of the fittings used to connect the Allison 1000 cooler
line to the radiator. As a result, you will encounter different fitting requirements for these vehicles, based on model
year. Your new T-TECH FIT413 Special Fittings Kit is designed to enable service, regardless of model year.
Your T-TECH FIT413 Kit contains 3 hose assemblies. The female hose assembly utilizes a universal fitting and will
adapt to both the old and new Allison models. There are 2 male hose assemblies: the short nose male hose
assembly is designed to fit older Allisons while the long nose hose assembly will fit the newer Allisons.
Care must be taken to match the correct male fitting to the application to avoid connection issues and leaking of
fluid. As a double-check, always compare the transmission cooler line fitting to the FIT413 male hose assembly to
ensure proper selection.
1. Locate a transmission cooler line where it attaches to the radiator. Remove the plastic cover, sliding back
onto the cooler line, exposing the E clip.
2. Using a small hook, awl or screwdriver, remove the E clip from the radiator fitting. (This clip will need to
be reinstalled to hold the FIT413 male adapter in place during the ATF exchange.)
3. Remove the cooler line from the radiator fitting and match to the corresponding male hose assembly from
the FIT413 Kit to ensure that the correct male hose assembly is used for the service.
4. Reinsert the E clip back onto the radiator fitting and connect the proper FIT413 male hose assembly.
5. Connect the FIT413 female hose assembly onto the transmission cooler line.
6. When service is complete, reverse the installation procedure. Always replace the E clip with a new one
(Part No. FIT511) prior to connecting the transmission cooler line back into the radiator fitting.
Note: The E clips are easily stretched or bent when removed. The design of the E clips utilizes 3
pressure points to hold a line in place. If any of these points are compromised, the line may come out of
the radiator, causing fluid leaks and the transmission to run low on fluid. It is strongly recommended that
you install a new clip prior to final connection of the cooler line back into the radiator fitting.
7. After reassembly is complete, test on the cooler line to ensure connection is secure. Reinstall the plastic
cover back over the fitting to keep out dirt and debris.
8. Check vehicle for leaks and proper fluid levels.
Nissan FIT411
Some Nissan models use a banjo fitting similar to the Ford Escort and Saab 900/9000 except that it is larger. See
the figure for Mazda FIT411.
CAUTION: These fittings are a matched set and must be kept together in the small plastic box marked FIT411.
Instructions
1. Remove the vehicle stock bolt, donut fitting, and washer from the radiator.
2. Install the female half of special fitting kit FIT411 on the vehicle stock bolt (through the donut fitting) with
the removed washer added.
3. Install the male half of the special fitting FIT411 into the radiator with a supplied nylon gasket.
4. When service is completed, return the fittings to special fittings case.
5. Reinstall factory parts.
6. Start the engine.
7. Check for leaks and fluid quantity.
33
Toyota
Toyota Camry
Note: When servicing Toyota Camrys with 4 cylinder engine, a low line pressure condition may be encountered.
This is normal and requires the following steps to perform the service.
1. With the T-TECH connected to the vehicle through a cooler line, start the vehicle.
2. Set the parking brake, with one foot on brake, place the transmission in neutral and increase the engine
speed to 1900 RPM. Monitor the exchange process until completed.
3. If the transmission is still not producing the needed pressure for an exchange, increase the engine speed
to 2300 RPM. Monitor the exchange process until completed.
4. If the line pressure is still too low to perform a service, stop the exchange and disconnect the T-TECH. The
vehicle may have other problems that need to be corrected before service can be completed.
Volkswagen
A fluid exchange service cannot be performed on most Volkswagen automobiles, including Jetta, Golf, Passat and Audi.
CAUTION: These vehicles do not have automatic transmission fluid cooler lines. In some cases, Volkswagen
transmission lines may have radiator coolant in them. This is because the heat exchanger is located inside the
transaxle.
